No Supply Issues With Ivermectin: Pharmaceutical Supplying PRINCIPLE Oxford Trial

The New Jersey pharmaceutical company supplying ivermectin to a UK trial that was paused for a short period of time, says there are no supply issues with its pills.

Ivermectin is being investigated as part of the government-backed Platform Randomised Trial of Treatments in the Community for Epidemic and Pandemic Illnesses (PRINCIPLE) in the United Kingdom as a possible home treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The trial was put on hold due to โ€œtemporary supply issuesโ€ as reported by Medpage Today on Dec. 14.

Details were not provided on the cause of the supply issues. The trialโ€™s joint chief investigator, professor Chris Butler, and the trialโ€™s press team declined to comment and respond to a query asking when the supply issue is expected to be resolved.

The Epoch Times also reached out to Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust in Englandโ€”one of two organizations responsible for QP (quality person) release, importing, and, labeling of ivermectin in the trialโ€”but did not receive a reply.

Daniel Worley Jr., Vice President of Business Development and Associate General Counsel of Edinbridge Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer supplying the medicine, told The Epoch Times in an email that the company โ€œis not experiencing any supply issues related to its ivermectin tablets (3mg) product.โ€

The companyโ€™s ivermectin tablets were added to the World Health Organizationโ€™s (WHO) Prequalified Medicines List last year in September, which ensures that a medicine meets โ€œacceptable standards of quality, safety, and efficacyโ€ for international procurement agencies to purchase and distribute in โ€œresource-limited countries.โ€ The list is part of the United Nationโ€™s Prequalification of Medicines Programme and is run by the WHO.

The halt on the trial has since been lifted as of Friday. However, PRINCIPLE says it is now pausing โ€œfor registrations over the Festive Breakโ€ and will โ€œreopen for registrations on January 4th,โ€ according to the trialโ€™sย website.

Doctors Question Lack of Ivermectin Supply

When PRINCIPLE announced its ivermectin trial in June 2021, Butler, the co-chief investigator, said the drug was safe and readily available, suggesting that there was an appropriate supply of the drug.

โ€œIvermectin is readily available globally, has been in wide use for many other infectious conditions, so itโ€™s a well-known medicine with a good safety profile, and because of the early promising results in some studies it is already being widely used to treat COVID-19 in several countries,โ€ Butler said in a news release.

Several doctors questioned the sudden pause on the PRINCIPLE trial as a result of the ivermectin supply.

Dr. Tess Lawrie, director of the Evidence-based Medicine Consultancy, said the supply issue cited was โ€œplainly ridiculous.โ€ The WHO is one of Lawrieโ€™s companyโ€™s clientele.
